gear.ign.com— Since we're sensitive peeps, we decided instead to cut straight to the real heart and sole of the Wii: the Wiimote.

It is official... IGN sucks at Dissection , I've could have done that!, I would be more interested in knowing how it works, not just breaking a wiimote
The drilling was a waste, they lost a controller and showed the inside of a controller that someone has already shown us. Why dont they just disassemble an ipod already cuz i'm pretty sure that hasn't been done 100x before.
I assumed it was Dexter from the Dexter books (Darkly Dreaming Dexter, Dearly Devoted Dexter, etc). These are the books the Dexter show on Showtime is based from.Kinda funny/weird that I just started listening to the first book (Darkly Dreaming Dexter) on audio book, and now I see this reference? Slick.
"It's an open secret that the Wii-remote was originally designed as a GameCube peripheral."No it isn't. It's just rumored. All I've ever seen was a Nintendo announcement that they were going to add a peripheral that would add five years to the console. Nothing happened. Then, some time later, the Wii is revealed. Post hoc, ergo propter hoc.I'm not sure whether to bury this for lame or inaccuracy.
We couldn't open the Wiimote so we smashed it with a hammer. Super-gluing it back together shows us that the accelerometers were supplied by "Analo vices".

Funnily enough, in the video section of digg, they also do a dissection of the Wiimote. With a blender.

Points to the submitter for calling it by its actually name. (Hint: It's not a Wiimote)
